Context around the links
Football365 said reports have linked Haaland with a potential exit from Manchester City over the past few weeks.
Football365 said this follows reports that Manchester City were found guilty on 114 of their 115 FFP charges after being accused of breaching Premier League regulations between 2009 and 2018.
Football365 said Manchester City continue to insist on their innocence and have appealed, though it has been widely reported that they face an uphill battle to clear their name.
Football365 said that if the appeal fails, Manchester City face potential severe punishments, including a huge fine, transfer ban, points deduction, expulsion and/or being stripped of their Premier League titles.

Pat Nevin, the ex-Chelsea player, told Casino Hawks: "Arsenal sounds great for Erling Haaland, but he makes his own decisions. The way that he’s gone about his career’s been quite interesting, hasn’t it? With his father helping."
Nevin also told Casino Hawks: "They have been very considered, the moves he’s made. I could see him in an all-white shirt, if I’m honest with you. Real Madrid."
